[Elsie]

When the anti-Christ sits in the temple and declares he is God then a lot of believers will change their end-time beliefs.

When will this be?

These are the only places that I can find that antichrist is mentioned.

 

 

 

1 John 2:18
  Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
 
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist —denying the Father and the Son.
 
1 John 4:3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
 
2 John 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist .

These are the only places that I can find that antichrist is mentioned.

True, but if it says "you have heard that the antichrist is coming," then it must meant he must be coming, even though there were and are many antichrists, like as there will be The day of the Lord, though there have been many day of the Lord precursors already.

In any case, call the man of lawlessness what you want, but he certainly is anti-Christ.

[Boogieman]

The Bible doesn’t always call him by that name. The “antichrist”, the “beast”, the “man of perdition”, “the wicked one”, those names are all synonymous.
